A Granite Offering table of Thutmose III. Offering tables often were made to resemble the hetep sign, as this one does. The table consists of a rectangular slab, representing a mat, with a section representing a loaf of bread protruding from the middle of one side. This offering table belongs to King Thutmose III from the 18th Dynasty, The New Kingdom period (ca. 1479 – 1425 BC). On the front faces of the table are images of the king kneeling to present vessels filled with liquid, and on the top surface, in place of carved items of food and drink, are forty holes to hold offerings. The titulary of the king is inscribed on the protruding part of the table, and the sides are adorned with Isis knots and djed pillars, representing protection and stability.
